When dispatching writes to a zoned block device, only allow the request
to be dispatched if its target zone is not locked. If it is, leave the
request in the scheduler queue and look for another suitable write
request. If no write can be dispatched, allow reads to be dispatched
even if the write batch is not done.

Is it documented somewhere what dd->zone_lock protects and when that lock should be
acquired?

Can this change be folded into the patch that introduced that comment?

Will it be easy to users who analyze a kernel log to figure out why that
message has been generated? Should that message perhaps include the block
device name, zone number and request sector number?

Thanks,

Bart.

It was not well explained. I added comments in V6.

Of course. Fixed in V6.

This was just a debug message for me that I forgot to remove. I did in V6.
Thanks for catching this.

Best regards.
